A Californian pop up café has opened for one day only to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the death of Tupac Shakur.

The rapper was killed in a drive-by shooting on this day in 1996 when his car stopped at an intersection in Las Vegas. He was 25.

As Stereogum reports, Shakur had designs on opening a restaurant in California with the name Powamekka Café. That vision was made a reality today as Fresno restaurant Take 3 Burgers became the Powamekka for one day only, using logo designs that the rapper had designed before his death, as well as taking his ideas on what the menu should contain.
